During her twenty years as Bearer of the Witchblade, Sara Pezzini has traveled the globe to do battle with just about every form of evil under the sun. When a powerful collector of the supernatural offers Sara a job, though, she finds herself called back to where it all began: New York City. If things seem too good to be true, however, it’s because they are. Looming over this new opportunity is the cold, hard fact that nothing lasts forever, and Sara’s tenure as Witchblade is almost at its end. Of course, Sara can’t help but wonder: Is this the end of the Artifact, or the end of her life?
